The ministers looked at Zhou Ming's gaze and became a little weird.

Naive?

Immature?

Still is...... Mentally retarded?

In short, all the ministers felt that their Emperor Majesty was too young.

But Zhou Ming has his own considerations, and he also has reasons for doing so.

One, he is indeed at a loss, and the so-called "promise" fulfilled by His Majesty the Emperor, I am afraid that most people will think that he is not very kind in private, and he is playing and humiliating the Lucis family.

After the old prince was angry to death, the Lucis family rebelled, which was completely reasonable.

After all, no matter who this happened to, it was impossible to swallow that breath.

Therefore, in terms of public opinion, Zhou Ming is very passive and difficult to be justified.

In the face of the rebels' offensive, he could only lower his posture as much as possible to avoid provoking them again and bringing more damage.

The two, the so-called "withdrawing troops for 2,000 miles and pardoning the Lucis family three times", is not Zhou Ming's naïve brain, this is a strategy adopted in order to win the war.

In fact, he has dozens of ways to defeat the rebels, and the probability of his failure is zero.

Zhou Ming's request for a decisive battle with the rebels on the Great Plains of Edalas County was to eliminate as many rebels as possible and fight a beautiful battle of annihilation!

Strive to weaken the power of the aristocratic faction to the maximum!

As for the "pardon three times", it is also a plan to get away with it, so that the Lucis family can have no fear in the state of pardon, continue to die, keep making mistakes, and finally go from one failure to another, and finally collapse.

In the end, in the Orunian Empire, the powerful family with the most energy, the largest private army, and the largest territorial population among the aristocratic faction went into complete decline.

This is Zhou Ming's real purpose.

……

The other side.

The main force of the rebel army penetrated 500 miles into the royal territory, occupied an undefended county town, and stationed in it.

An envoy sent by the imperial capital delivered the letter that the emperor was going to convey to the rebels to the hands of Bruno, the commander of the rebel army.

Bruno is 71 years old this year, with white temples, but because of his perennial martial arts practice, he is burly and strong, his eyes are bright, and his personality is the same as his father's, he is also very irritable and irritable.

However, unlike the old prince, Bruno's temper is not only short-tempered, but also "cruel", "easy to kill" and other attributes, the old prince once criticized him, calling him "more rewards and less killing", but the old prince is gone, and Bruno, who is not suppressed, presents the irritability in his personality 100%.

For example, on this march, for those troops that marched slowly, Bruno ordered hundreds of men to be killed without mercy.

Temporary command of the house.

After receiving the letter handed by the imperial envoy and scanning it a few times, Bruno, who was sitting at the top, suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, that kid from Noctis, it's so naïve and ridiculous!"

Bruno's laughter was mixed with gnashing of teeth, which was quite weird and terrifying, and his eyes also shot a bloodthirsty light.

He crumpled the letter in his hand, stared in a certain direction to the west, and said, "Noctis, we have been preparing for this war for decades, do you think that your fake charity can withstand the million-dollar iron horsemen of my Lucis family?"

"Withdraw the army for 2,000 miles, I don't need it! No matter what city is, as long as it stands in front of this king, this king can take it!"

"A decisive battle between the two armies in the Great Plains of Edalas County, yes! As long as you appear there, this king will take your head himself! and then take down this world that belongs to the Lucis family!"

Yes, at this moment, the ambition that had been lurking in Bruno's heart for many years was finally exposed, and with a once-in-a-lifetime excuse, how could he hold it?

Therefore, Bruno's mood for starting this war is certainly the hatred and grief of his father being angry to death, but more importantly, the excitement and excitement that his ambition can finally be displayed!

At this moment, his wish for many years is finally coming true!

At the end of the letter, Noctis says that if he wins, he will forgive the Lucis family and pardon the Lucis family three times.

Bruno smiled.

A mockery of the idiocy was issued.

When he told this joke to the dozens of generals present, the commander of the mansion was even more full of laughter!

"An idiot like Noctis can actually sit on the throne?"

"Noctis is still dreaming of defeating us, and he will give the Lord three alms, okay, when we capture Noctis, we will also reward him with three chances to escape, and the fourth time we will use our saber to cut off his head!"

"Hahahaha, that little ghost emperor, it's so funny!"

"I'm already a little impatient to see that little imp on the battlefield. The general licked his lips in anticipation.

"Encountering an idiot-like opponent, this empire seems to be destined to return to its original master, Lord Wangjue, no, His Majesty the Emperor, you are the wise lord who should lead this empire!"

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

Immediately, all the generals, nobles, and ministers knelt down and shouted long live in advance.

Seeing this scene, the imperial envoy who delivered the letter couldn't help but say: "You are not revenge, you are a great rebellion!"

Bruno Tiger glared: "Come on, push him down and chop him, go out early tomorrow morning, and take his blood sacrifice flag!"

The envoy was immediately frightened and shouted in horror: "Don't kill me, I'm an envoy, I can't kill the envoy!"

But how could Bruno, who was full of bloodlust, heed his pleas for mercy?

……

Two months later.

On the flat and wide Great Plains of Edalas, on both sides of a river that flows north-south, two large armies have drawn their formation.

The army in the west, with golden helmets and golden armor, is very gorgeous, and has nearly 10,000 phalanxes and about a million people.

The army in the east, with silver armor and gray armor and white plain, was obviously poorly equipped, but the silent momentum of the mourning soldiers also made people feel very depressed, and they didn't dare to underestimate it.

As for the number, it was about two million, twice as many as the army from the west.

"Knock knock~"

After the belligerent drums began to beat.

Behind the military formation in the west, Zhou Ming waved his hand and ordered, his own army retreated three miles, let the army of the noble alliance cross the river first, and wait for the main force to go to the west bank, and then the two armies will fight.

Bruno was incredulous and muttered, "That idiot little imp actually told my million cavalry to cross the river first, stand firm and then fight......?"

For a while, Bruno even had a feeling of deception in his mind, but it flashed.

When I saw the military formation on the other side of the river, it was indeed retreating in an orderly manner, leaving a large open space.

He waved his hand: "Quickly cross the river and attack in an all-out way!"

……

Rear of the Western Army Formation.

Stand on a hill bag.

With binoculars in his hand, he saw more and more cavalry of the aristocratic alliance army, standing on the land on the west bank, setting up one cone-shaped charging army formation after another.

Zhou Ming asked left and right, "How many soldiers and horses did they cross over?"

"Your Majesty, it should be more than seventy percent, and the cavalry has basically crossed over. ”

"Okay! Give an order, order the soldiers to take off their armor, change their weapons, take out their breech rifles, order the artillery units to roll out their cannons, and prepare for a salvo bombardment! Order the 300,000 cavalry who have crossed the river to prepare to copy the back of the rebels and wipe them out!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Woo woo woo~"

"Boom Boom Boom~"

"Bang bang ~"

"Ahh

A slaughter war caused by the technological generation gap is being staged on this great plain.
